COMMERCIAL.
FROM THE LYTTELTON TIMES. Christchurch, Friday Evening. GRAIN AND PRODUCE. We have no material alteration to report in the state of the grain market since our last is.sue. There has been a more active enquiry for some lines which has been productive of business, but not to such an extent as to have any marked effect upon prices. Wheat keeps steady at the quotations of last week—3s 3d to 3s 4d for good average lots, and for choice samples 3ssd to 3s s|d. Oats have Been a better business during the week than has been the case for some time past, but the rates obtained have not in any way improved. Feed qualities are still quoted at 2s 6d to 2s Bd, milling 2s 9d.
Barley still continues at former rates, 5s 6d to 6s. Potatoes.—Values are exceedingly difficult to get at, but 55s to 60s may be accepted as the prices. FJour.—A good business has been done in flour at £8 to £9. Grass Seed is quite neglected. Dairy Produce.—Butter is not over plentiful, and lid ia the price quoted. Cheese Bid. Hams and bacon unaltered.
